Anyone had lap band removal before the actual revision surgery

Hi everyone. I'm Scheduled for lap-band removal Feb 5th. I should be having a revision to the sleeve around 3 months after that (pending insurance approval). I am just curious about the recovery time from lap-band removal. I'd also like to know what you're post op diet from lap-band removal was. Thanks!

I had my lap band removed last august, then was sleeved in December. I could have gone back to work after a week. My post op diet was liquids for a day, then regular food as tolerated.

I had Lap-Band removal on November 27th and hernia repair. For 2 weeks I followed the the hernia repair diet which was mushy foods no citrus no spices. I am scheduled for Vertical Sleeve on February 23rd.

I had my band removed in July. Monday I will be sleeved. Recovery was easy. I took the day off for the procedure and the next day to recover at home. Back to work the next. A little soreness, but nothing too bad. I are normal foods right away.

I had mine removed the same time as my sleeve. I asked my doc why some do it separate. He said the doctors get more money that way. I’m sure that is it the reasons for yours and I can imagine it helps to heal in between but I’m glad I had to go in once since my recovery from Anastesia was aweful

I had my band removed in August & I had the sleeve on 12/27. I had my band removed the day before the Mayweather fight and went to a friends fight party the very next day. Granted I was confined to the couch the entire time but I was fine. It took about 3-4 days for me to feel back to normal. I didn’t need any pain meds following surgery. I don’t recall eating different after my band was removed either 🤷🏽‍♀️
